Thanks so much for your reply! We tried to do everything right when we got Rocco. We met the parents and although the mother was very protective of the pups, both were very sweet (especially the father). We neutered him as soon as we could. We have put him in puppy class and he has learned sit and down very easily. We try to work on training every day, even if it is just for 10 minutes or so. And I usually take him for a walk at least once a day.
I think the most frustrating thing for me is that he hardly ever wants any affection. Only when he is really tired does he let us pet him. Mostly I've stopped trying to pet him because I know he will just try to bite at me. It has never hurt but it still bothers me.
I knew we would have problems with housetraining because of the breed but I thought we would see some improvement by now. You mentioned manner bands. What are those? Do you mean the belly bands that I've read about?
Thanks again for your reply!!
